I thought of two other live recordings that went to # 1 & they were both in 1992:"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" by George Michael & Elton John & "I'll Be There" by Mariah Carey.

The first of those #1 live hits only hit #1 on the Hot 100 but not on AT40 or CT40.

Just a month earlier (2/14/81) AT40 stopped playing the previous week's top 3 every week at the start of the show and often just played last week's #1 (or sometimes the top two). By 3/14 I wonder why they even bothered with that, as of the previous week's #1 ("I Love a Rainy Night"), which isn't a long song to begin with, it was just the opening verse, first chorus, and then repeat/fade. This may have been a Premiere edit, but it was so short that it seemed pointless. The piece of Vesti La Guibba played presumably dated to 1906 (Casey said "75 years ago", and that Caruso recorded it several times starting in 1902.) That may have been the oldest recording ever heard on AT40.
"I Love a Rainy Night" on 3/14 was a Premiere edit.

There was even a parody of the Vesti La Guibba opera song in a circa 1969 Kellogg's Rice Krispies TV commercial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jMsA1upCEU

WPNC aired the 1988 show today and I believe they will repeat it Monday/Tuesday at midnight.

WFMX random show is from 3-29-1986. But not likely to be the show for the weekend of March 30 since we just had 3/1/86 as a standalone.

The only way 3/29/1986 can be played the last weekend in March 2024 is to be a B show if 4/3/1982 - last played in 2016 - is the A show for that weekend. 4/3/1982 was the same weekend Casey welcomed WLS AM 890 Chicago as a new AT40 affiliate.

That's four out of five years (1980-84) aired consecutively in as many weeks, with only 1982 skipped. And the four weeks before that were 1982-86 in order, except no 1984.
If we're continuing to pair years in back to back weeks, 1987 and 1988 should appear in April. Or even if we don't they should.

Next week's show is...3/31/1984. Is 1984 a surprise ? Not really for me, because it´s Easter again and therefore another Easter weekend with 1984. An April Fool´s joke ? No, even though Easter Monday is 4/1 this year.
